Well unfortunately for me, someone offered to let me have a go on their YBOD in the pool last Sunday

Bugger and damnation... I need one now.

Unfortunately all I have to offer is :-

A) One kidney

or if it is in very good condition.

B) My right testicle.

Joking aside (hmmm well actually I might be willing to let the kidney go!) I really was hooked but what are the options for getting into RB's at a reasonable price? (Please don't point me to Duncan's site, I looked once and ran away screaming )

I want to have a good look at the kiss units (I like the uncluttered front and the idea of controlling it rather than the electronics doing the work) any Kiss users on YD who are regular visitors to the South coast or NDC/Vobster? Just fancy having a look over one.

Daz

Old ABLJ, length of corrugated hose, 4 cuffdumps, some jubilee clips and some drainpipe. A couple of small cylinders and you are away with a RB for about 50 quid.

After you, sir...

I think local to you the best bet is getting in touch with nitrox (if he's not already left for the sunnier climes of belize). I can pass you on his number if you'd like........

I tried one

I loved it

I couldn't affford it

But I brought it anyway.




At the current interest rate on my credit card, I estimate that I will be 142 before I have paid for it.

For the confused among you - Kato was a character in the pink panther films.

He was the yellow assasin!
